Configuring RIP Routing
As described in the PortMaster Routing Guide, PortMaster products automatically send and
accept route information as part of RIP messages if RIP routing is turned on.
To configure RIP routing for a network hardwired asynchronous port, use the following
command:
Command> set S0 rip on|broadcast|listen|off
Note – ComOS releases prior to 3.5 use routing instead of the rip keyword.
Table 5-3 describes the results of using each keyword.
Refer to the PortMaster Routing Guide for OSPF and BGP configuration instructions.
Configuring Compression
Compression can increase the performance of interactive TCP sessions over network
hardwired asynchronous lines. Lucent implements Van Jacobson TCP/IP header
compression and Stac LZS data compression. Compression is on by default.
Compression should not be used with multiline load-balancing, but can be used with
Multilink PPP.
Compression must be enabled on both ends of the connection if you are using SLIP. For
PPP connections, the PortMaster supports both bidirectional and unidirectional
compression. Refer to RFC 1144 for more information about header compression.
Table 5-3 Keywords for Configuring RIP Routing
Keyword Description
on The PortMaster broadcasts and listens for RIP information
from other routers on this interface. This is the default.
off The PortMaster neither broadcasts nor listens for RIP
information on this interface.
broadcast The PortMaster broadcasts RIP information on this interface.
listen The PortMaster listens for RIP information on this interface.
